My usual heating pad had quit, so I turned to a homemade solution: a rice bag heating pad. Surprisingly easy to make, it was also comforting and effective, providing just the relief I needed.

Fill the sock 3/4 with rice. Leave enough room at the top so ... If you need more time once the heating pad has gone cold, microwave again for 1 minute and reapply.
